Question : 2
Total: 31
The three stable isotopes of neon :
20
10
Ne
,
21
10
Ne
and
22
10
Ne have respective abundances of 90.51%, 0.27% and 9.22%. The atomic masses of the three isotopes are 19.99 u, 20.99 u and 21.99 u, respectively. Obtain the average atomic mass of neon.
Solution:  
Average atomic mass of neon with the given abundances,
A =
90.51(19.99u)+0.27(20.99u)+9.22(21.99u)
100
=
2017.7
100
u = 20.18 u
